Edina >Personal Services >
Beauty >American Laser Skincare
Terrible Place!!! – This is a warning to stay away from American Laser Skincare. I have personally had bad experiences with them where due to inexperience of technicians and poor quality lights (they do not even have an actual laser machine), the laser hair removal was not only ineffective, but left permanent marks on my skin.
On the better business bureau (BBB), American Laser Skincare has 925 complaints within the last 3 years! They are not a ethical company. While I was having problems, I first dealt with the Maple Grove, MN manager Rebecca S. She was very rude and defensive and didn't want to work with me at all. I looked her up and found her on Linkedin. She posted her resume which helps explain her behavior. She boasts about reducing refunds and raising costs of treatments.
Rebecca S. claims on her resume (these are direct quotes from the manager's Linkedin account):
* Reduced refunds from over 20% of sales to less than 4% by improving the sales process, implementing service systems and enhancing the quality of treatments through training.
* Increased dollars per treatment from 32$ to 75$ per treatment.
Next I dealt with the regional manager Joann B. She was much more professional than Rebecca S., but she also refused to give me any kind of refund as she said a common side effect of laser hair removal is permanent skin damage. This is only true if done improperly (poor technical training and low quality machines).
There are laser hair removal places with very high ratings. Be warned of American Laser Skincare and do research before choosing a location. I can recommend other places in the Twin Cities that have been fantastic (a night and day difference from American Laser).

← [UPDATED] Richard Dawkins on Harun Yahya's Atlas of Creation
[UPDATED] Richard Dawkins on Harun Yahya's Atlas of Creation - Comments
I don't agree with Richard that Oktar is naive. He presents his materials to the naive to sell better, so whenever he thinks he can seize the opportunity to promote his cause, he adopts a language he (probably rightfully) thinks they will easily swallow.
His attempted and so far marginally successful attempts at manipulating the Turkish jurisdiction to execute his will may have been naive in matters of law, but quite likely he's merely testing out how far he can take it. It's no secret that the common cause of all religious fundamentalists of the world is to bend and change the laws of their countries to fit their holy texts (or their selective readings thereof). They believe that they are the frontline in a battle of humanity against the force of evil. Or at least they find that making a fortune selling the battlecry is a worthwile endeavour. And it is as worthwile to them to carry on generation by generation - in the Christian case conveniently compartmentalized away from the fact that the same generations were all waiting for the return of their savior and disappointed; the Muslim world awaiting the arrival of the Mahdi.
I'm extremely grateful that today our countries provide a haven of freedom for brave apostates to openly form councils such as this one. They are not yet removed from danger as individuals, but the torch will not be extinguished. Call a spade a spade and an ignoramus an ignoramus, a liar a liar and a fascist a fascist, and words will take fruit.

Checkout his press statement:
The public will be aware that access to the web sites www.richarddawkins.net and www.egitimsen.org.tr has been blocked by court rulings.
Following the blocking of access in the light of these rulings, several misleading reports and articles on the subject have appeared in various press organs.
It has been claimed in these reports that the reason for the legal measures taken against the web sites in question stems supposedly from criticism of my client's book the Atlas of Creation, and they have gone even further in making false imputations regarding my client, such as "hostility towards science," "opposing freedom of ideas," and "engaging in censorship."
These totally unrealistic allegations and imputations, intended to defame my client, have made it essential to issue this press statement in order that the public be correctly informed on the matter.
FIRST, the claim in the publications in question that prevention of access was requested because my client's book the Atlas of Creation had been criticized on those sites is completely untrue and fabricated. The sole reason for the applications made on behalf of my client, Mr. Adnan Oktar, is that severe insults and untruthful imputations directly aimed against my client's good name appeared on these sites. Indeed, the courts considering the matter accepted our application for that legitimate reason, considered the content of the publications in question to be unlawful and blocked access to the relevant sites.
It will be appreciated that if a publication had criticized my client's book without attacking his personal rights, the courts would obviously have borne in mind the rights to freedom of thought and expression and turned down our applications. The publications in question are evidently of a derogatory and false nature towards the courts deciding on the issue, and represent unlawful, improper behavior incompatible with press ethical principles.
SECOND, our legal petitions concerning the unlawful texts on these sites and the rulings issued regarding these are all contained in the court files. Examination of these documents shows that the injunction to block access to the sites stems from the illegal imputations and defamations directed against my client's personal rights. That being the case, publications imputing my client â" and indeed the court â" in a totally unrealistic manner and ignoring these documents, make it clear that those preparing such publications without investigating the truth of the matter actually have ulterior motives. Not only is this behavior a contravention of the law, it is also incompatible with professional press principles.
THIRD, I wish to make it clear that my client Mr. Oktar's views and works are totally grounded in the scientific facts. It is for that reason that world-famous journals such as Science, New Scientist and Scientific American have referred to Mr. Oktar as "an international hero [whose] books have spread everywhere in the Islamic world," and regard the works my client has personally written as the most powerful intellectual movement in the world to reveal the invalidity of evolution. Reuters, one of the world's largest press agencies, has stated that the works of Adnan Oktar "has an influence U.S. creationists could only dream of."
The comments from Turkish and international scientific authorities, one small part of which have been quoted here, about my client's works are the clearest response to the baseless allegations and imputations that my client is "hostile to science."
FOURTH, the allegation in some of the publications that "My client prevented access to Richard Dawkins' web site because he was reluctant to engage in a scientific debate with him" is completely untrue. On the contrary, my client has many times invited Richard Dawkins, both verbally and in written form, to a scientific debate, but he has not accepted, or has been unable to accept, those invitations. No response has been forthcoming to the announcements of "a call to a scientific debate" that my client has issued to Richard Dawkins over the last few months in particular on his web sites www.harunyahya.com and www.harunyahya.org
In the same way that Richard Dawkins did not (or could not) accept my client's calls for a scientific debate, his own web site contained statements contravening the law and violating my client's personal rights and going far beyond the bounds of respect, and which also concerned the site closure application. When these statements were published, we resorted to the use of our legal rights.
By means of this press release, my client once again repeats his "call for a scientific debate," already issued countless times, and particularly calls on the members of the press reporting on the issue to make contact with Richard Dawkins and convince him to accept my client's invitation to a debate.
FIFTH, some of the relevant publications and particularly the web site www.egitimsen.org.tr carried the claim that our legal petitions were issued "without giving the site management any warning." This claim is totally false and untrue. The site managements were warned both verbally and in writing on the subject of removing the text about which we had applied to the court. Indeed, on 17 September 2008, one day before our application to the court, the site management were telephoned and verbally informed of the matter once again. The site representative on the telephone requested the matter be notified in writing, and the request that the unlawful texts in the publication be removed was e-mailed to the site management and they were informed that otherwise we would be forced to resort to legal measures. Sadly, however, despite our warnings, no reply was received and we eventually had to apply for an injunction. It is not a well-intentioned approach to issue untruthful statements that they were not warned and thus criticize the ruling issued by the court. The site management statements on its first page regarding the ruling that the www.egitimsen.org.tr web site be closed contain untrue claims and unlawful declarations (and the publication still continues). We announce by means of this press statement that unless the unlawful terms in the text of that statement are removed we shall have to resort to the appropriate legal measures.
SIXTH, the decision to block access to the www.egitimsen.org.tr web site was lifted, after the removal by the site management of the items violating my client's personal rights, with the ruling issued by the Kadıköy 2nd Court of First Instance. In other words, the grounds for the lifting of the injunction is the removal of the page carrying the unlawful text about my client, Adnan Oktar, by the site management. We many times requested that the page containing the expressions violating my client's personality rights be removed before we made our application, but the site management never responded to these requests. When the closure ruling was issued, the site management removed the unlawful text in order to have their site opened again, the ruling issued in the framework of the injunction was lifted, and access to the site granted.
In summary; the court ruled that access to the site be re-opened because the site management accepted that their publication about my client was unlawful and removed it. However, following the removal by the site officials of the unlawful publication and as soon as the site was opened up, in an effort to supposedly justify themselves, they continued to bring out texts about my client that went beyond the bounds of freedom of expression, and this is a contravention of good intentions and the law.
SEVENTH, my client Adnan Oktar sets out his ideas on a scientific platform in the most powerful and effective manner in his books and web sites. However, he also treats those who think differently with the greatest respect in those publications. Not a single disrespectful word about anyone holding different opinions can be found in any of my client's more than 300 books nor in any of the dozens of web sites based on his opinions.
That is because my client respects freedom of thought and expression and is most tolerant of the expression of views opposed to his. However, it will be appreciated that freedom of the press, or ideas or expression is not the same thing as freedom of defamation. Everyone is free to express and defend his or her opinions on any subject, but they have a responsibility to do so within the bounds of the law, without breaching public order and while respecting the personal rights of others. There can be no question that those who transgress those bounds will not be protected by the judicial authorities. In the event those bounds are transgressed, everyone must respect the rulings issued on the subject by the independent Turkish courts.
Submitted for the public record.

Hahahaha, Fred - as if good ol' Harun gives a toss about "truth". The guy's a charlatan, has been proven to be so by Richard and others, and is conducting a campaign to clean up his image so that he can continue to fleece the gullible. I say gaol's too good for him - he should be forced to watch Benny Hinn sermons for the rest of his life.

That was quite magnificent, thank you Richard! I do think that the word "ignoramus" is underused in public discourse, particularly since there are so many of them about.
I do however agree with Greybishop that the footage should have included your slides. No need to throttle the camera operator though, perhaps someone could just edit them into the footage?
Also ... oooooh - a children's book by RD? Can I pre-order NOW? I've been teaching my daughter about evolution since she was five, and I'm sure she would love such a book. What age range were you aiming for?

Oh Bother, here we go again... joe the troll is back.I don't think it is Joe. I do occasionally see him posting elsewhere. I usually add a coda pointing out that he is simply copying material from Oktar's sites.
His favourite thing at the moment is to cut and paste a claim that they have challenged RD to a debate and that Richard is too scared to take it up. Not too different to FrederickK in that respect.

"Ex-muslim"? It is great to hear such a society exists. For the world's sake, let's hope it's membership expands rapidly. For those of us raised with the fear of eternal damnation after death, keeping the seeds of doubt was not that difficult. For muslims, the fear of execution rapidly sending you to eternal damnation has to be nearly impossible to overcome.

A very amusing and direct, to-the-point speech. Also, don't miss the panel discussion with Dawkins and several others on the "Video footage of the conference" link, right under RD's speech, though all the videos are good.
When the camera was panning over the audience, I couldn't help but wonder if some of the attendees had reason to fear that this exposure, however limited, could possibly be life-threatening...not a pleasant thought.

Actually, I think it's rather wonderful for loonies such as Joe, Oktar etc are so freaked by Richard's devastation of their tiny world that they try this on. And I hope Richard continues to ignore them. I, on the other hand, will happily engage them. I'll be in Turkey next June, so could easily slot a debating engagement into my schedule. I expect 5 star accommodation, of course.

Today's Lineup
Ozuna, LF; Iguchi, 2B; PK, DH; Dye, RF; Crede, 3B; Gload, 1B; Widger, C; Uribe, SS; Anderson, CF … Buehrle pitching.
Today's feature in the Sun-Times comparing White Sox players and staff to their celebrity, real-life look-alikes was the talk of the clubhouse. Of course, Cliff Politte bore the brunt of the abuse.
Draft Think
Jerry Reinsdorf, Ken Williams and the Sox scouting staff met this morning to discuss the club's options in Tuesday's First-Year Player Draft.
To Ozney Guillen for throwing a no-hitter Friday in amateur baseball action in Miami. Kenny Williams Jr. homered from both sides of the plate in his first game of summer league action in Wichita.

Are we ever going to win a series again? Our pitching is pathetic and our hitting ain't that far behind. Watch out Detroit…here come the over 4 ERA White Sox!! UGH!!!
Calm down. They've just hit a rough patch in the road. They're not going to play like this all year. Our pitching isn't pathetic, and we're putting up pretty good offensive numbers. Maybe Detroit is what they need to start going again. No more messing around, it's go time.
Laughable!!! Our pitching can't hold down anything. In the past 5 games all of our starters have given up at least 5 earned runs. Oh our bullpen you say? Instead of having Politte come out to pitch, we should just add 2 runs to the scoreboard and save the effort. McCarthy? Nelson? Where are these guys? I am also so tired of hearing "we just got beat, that's all." Well, stop getting beat! You want me to calm down??!! Start playing like champs, not chumps!!
Does anyone have a link to that Sun Times feature about the white sox celebrity look a likes? I looked on the website and couldn't find it…Thanks.
Center field is a joke. Brian anderson should be given the everyday job, or they should trade for a center fielder. Mackowiak doesn't hit well enough to justify the one or two flies a game that he cant get to. Mackowiak should be a pinch hitter. that is what he is suited for. he is absolutely KILLING us everytime he plays center. Politte should be optioned to the minors or released. they cant keep going to this guy. everyone was up in arms about marte last year and he did 50 times better than cliffy is doing this season. Maybe a nice deal for Roberto Hernandez would do the sox good. he is having a great year, and the pirates would probably trade him for a low level prospect. How is Blakely doing in the minors? maybe he could play center he looked good in the spring. hopefully we can beat the tigers. im starting to get nervous
Well, the way you're talking, it seems like you've never watched a baseball season in your life. If you did, you would know that every team is going to go through this exact thing, and maybe more. The 2005 Sox did it in August last year, during their "choke".
One of the great things about baseball, is the season is long. And when all is said and done, you will have the 4 best teams from each league in the playoffs. It's a long season, so every team is going to go through slumps. If you seriously thought the Sox were going to cruise through the season to another championship, you're kidding yourself. No team does that, you will have your good stretches and your bad ones.
Relax, get off the ledge. It's a long season, enjoy it for what it is. When all is said and done your going to be laughing that you were even worrying at all.
Nelson could possibly be done for his career. He was placed on the DL with soreness in his elbow but according to the pre and post game shows it's a lot worse than that. They said he has what is called ulnar neuritis in his right elbow and can't feel parts of his elbow. Hopefully they were saying the worst case scenario. Just giving an update to the die hard sox fan that is ready to jump off the ledge.
Baseball is the greatest sport I know. But to me, on a par, is football (soccer to most of you). The greatest show on Earth (The World Cup) starts on Friday.
It is still bigger than the olympics.
I will be starting a totally new, non-baseball, blog for the duration of the competition.
Please, one and all, come and join in the fun. Even if you know feck all, or even dislike the sport.
It will be a fun 4 weeks folk..
Hey Scott!
love your blog! I was surfing myspace and feeling zany, so I did a search. Did you know there are five different individuals claiming to be Paul Konerko? It made me wonder…do any of the players use myspace? It seems like there wouldnt be much time to even check it, let alone network on it. Anyways, you should check it out, most of these people dont have their details straight. (At least two of the profiles, under weather they had children or not, said they didnt want kids! I just about fell out of my chair lol)
Thanks again!
Dear Scott,
Although I agree that the season is early and the Sox have done a mostly great job up until the past few weeks, I am really starting to worry that if we don't get some bullpen help we can kiss any hopes for a postseason good-bye.
This is coming from a usually calm, level-headed Sox fan who had no qualms watching guys like Uribe in '05 and Crede and Valentin in '04 struggle at the plate, because those guys could always be counted on to bring defense and timely hitting to contribute to the team.
But with the bullpen the difference is they're getting paid to do one thing – GET PEOPLE OUT – so when they continually fail to do so it makes justifying their presences on the team tougher to do.
I love Poll-cat and will never forget what he did for us last year, but perhaps under current circumstances it would be best for him to try a stint in AAA or something. It just seems apparent to anyone who has followed the team that it's not there for him right now, and these games are too important to watch him try to "feel his way back" in. I think the same holds true for many of our recent bullpen call-ups as well.
As a die-hard Sox fan who follows every game with hopes in my heart and knots in my stomach, I appreciate this blog allowing me to air my grievances. Hopefully things will pick up and you can call me a fool for doubting!
Go Go Sox!
Scott posted a great comparison the other day of the 2005 season vs. this season. Strange how all the numbers this year are much better, and yet we're sittign 2.5 games out of first! But hey, sometimes you tip your hat to the competition. Detroit has been playing well- but here's the deal. They have hit their stride. They have yet to to hit their funk as we are in now. And its a guarantee that every team will falter for the season is too long to consistently play .700 ball.
All we need to worry about it playing fundamentally sound Grinder Ball, and getting Wins. There is SO much time left in this great baseball season. So we've lost a few games…SO WHAT. Learn from it, and move on.
What a huge series we have coming up tomorrow Sox fans, get excited! All it takes to get out of a slump is one big game (which leads to another, and another…). Our guys know it, we know it…..expect the guys to come out firing tomorrow!
Until then, have a relaxing off day, and I'll see you back here tomorrow. 2006 was never going to be a cakewalk, just keep that in your head!!! Go Sox!
I agree. Sure it's disheartening to see 7 loses out of 10 games but it's not the losses that are troubling me so much. It's the way we're losing and the effort. I suppose there is no great way to lose a game but there's definitely more palatable ways.
The pitching will come back around I believe but the defensive lapses and lack of execution (the bunting and moving runners over especially)are inexcusable for a squad that is capable of so much better. I think we'll right the ship against Detroit and get back to White Sox baseball.
If not we should try to sign Ozney to a minor league contract.
To dreifer and kenwo…Hey,guys,how about a chorus of "You Are My Sunshine"? Check your calendars,men,before you both re-order your supply of Gelusil for your agita…What occured this past weekend was simple…The Te-has Rangers came in with a red-hot offense,good enough to overcome a strating pitching job Saturday night that was,to put it kindly,…BRUTAL! Padilla must come from the Steve Trachsell "If You Don't Throw It,It Won't Hurt You"school of pitching…and Vazquez suffered because of that elongated 4th inning…because the visitors came back and their bullpen locked the door on the WS offense…Yesterday,Ozzie was asked by Farmer on his segment of the pre-game show what he needed out of Buehrle…The manager replied ,I believe,"…seven or eight innings…" Well,he got seven innings,all right…and Buehrle got his a** kicked…Then some humpty-dumpty by the name of Gerald Laird,who had had 101 previous ML games and 3 career HR's in said games,decided to get the rust off of him by smoting 738 estimated feet of long ball off of Montero and Politte…What is wrong with this picture?The ballclub has surrendered 5 or more runs six times in the last 10 games,against the Rangers,Indians and Blue Jays…Well,kids,my analysis is this…The pitching staff picked a bad time to falter against suddenly hot teams in the aforementioned…and I see by the future match-ups that when the Indians pay a visit next weekend that Sabathia and Buehrle are going head to head again…that's Saturday,before the eyes of FOX and the world,unless there's a more interesting game out East,where the power brokers live who'd rather see the Yank-mes,the Bo-Sox or the Mets on their TV…
As for what occurs beginning tomorrow night,at the moment,these are two teams who richly deserve each othe,based on recent developements…Or as the manager put it in his post-game comments yesterday…"It's going to be a great series.Both teams are not playing well.They both stink. Hopefully we play better than them…"
Couldn't have said it better myself,amigo…
By the way,mrp2390…Sean,you won't have to concern yourself with having to endure "Bummer"Berman at the ASG…because that is a presentation of FOX Sports…(I sound like the voice at the end of each of their telecasts…)So,young Buck and old Mc Carver will be keeping you up with their swifties and analysis…Besides,local announcers like Hawk haven't been able to sniff the broadcast booth for games like the All-Star Game and World Series ever since 1976,when Gillette pulled out of sponsoring and the networks decided to foist their own upon us,like it or not…
Bethany…(two in a row,the kid's got it licked…)You'll always be an all-star on this blog site….
Tomquaid, et al.,
Last year, the Sox won NOT because of their great hitting but because of starters who could go 6-7-8 innings and hold teams to 2 or 3 runs, not 4 or 5. When starters couldn't do that in August, the big lead dissipated and the Indians almost caught us.
I should add, of course, that defense was also crucial to the team's success.
And this year? The problem is clearly not just "hot teams" and "faltering" pitching but CONSISTENTLY SHAKY pitching and defense. During April and May, Garcia, Vasquez and even Buehrle won games because of the Sox's great hitting, NOT because of their good pitching. How often I cringed when I heard Chris Singleton praising our starters for "keeping us in the game" even though they
had given up 5 runs and 10 hits in 5/6 innings! And how often I have seen balls drop that would have been caught by Aaron Rowand in center or even Pods in left!
The situation now is serious because, as I have always argued, Ozzie Guillen simply does not manage pitchers well. He leaves his starters in too long; he pulls his relievers much too fast. He did it last year; he'll do it again this year. We can only hope that the starters will regain their ability to keep Ozzie on the bench. If they don't, the season's lost.
In the mean time, a few other things we can only hope for:
1. that Ozzie will play Ozuna but NOT IN LEFT FIELD! Ozuna CANNOT play the position!
2. that, as KENWO4LIFE stated, he plays Anderson (or someone who can play the position) in center field. Mackowiak CANNOT play the position well enough!
3. that Ozzie gets over his hangup with McCarthy and replaces Vasquez with the kid. Vasquez is a .500 pitcher. Period. The kid has the potential to be a great starter. Give him the chance!
(By the way, Ozzie's comments the other night were nothing short of unbelievable. He pulls McCarthy after he gives up ONE walk in the eighth, in favor of Jenks, who immediately gives up a game winning hit. And what does Ozzie do after the game, instead of blaming himself for another bad decision?! He complains about McCarthy's inconsistency! Remember what YOU said last year Ozzie! When we lose, blame the manager!)
4. that Ozzie stops using Politte in tight situations. Cliff clearly doesn't have it this year, and until he does he should pitch only when we're losing by 5 or more runs.
5. that "fundamentals" practice includes more work on double plays, which we are NOT turning when we should.
kolsens…if you and dreifer can arrange it,I'd like to have Scott or someone allow you both in the dugout during a game so you both can manage better than the guy who is sitting there right now…Everybody thinks they know what is wrong currently,and everybody has the solutions…If I had the power,I would arrange for every critic of the CWS and every other sports franchise in this city to become GM/manager/head coach for ONE WEEK'S TIME…just to see what it would be like…These critics would soon realize how hazardous the position is,with other GM's slicker than boiled okra ready to fleece you of talent that you suddenly don't like,because they're not doing the same exact thing they did LAST year,or they looked at you cross-eyed,or whatever other heinous act they purpatrated(sic)…If you were the manager for a week,you would soon learn that real life is not like playing MLB'06 on playstation…You have to be in the game,as well as being three or four steps ahead of the person who's in charge of the other team….
But that is the great thing about sites like this…You can rant,rave,and do whatever you like to get your ya-ya's off about the Sox…
For those of you just discovering this location,let me describe it simply for you…(and I can't believe I'm going to type this…)This is a site for sore ayes…(the man has no shame…the guts of a burglar,but no shame whatsoever…)
kolsens,you and tom.sisk should compare notes and feelings sometime,since you're both on the same carrier…As for myself,after that last pun, I will pull a Snagglepuss,thusly….
Tom Quaid–exit,stage left…
Just for kicks… Isn't most of this an experiment anyway? Sure the Sox are faltering, but so what?
The team has strengths and weaknesses that are exposed at certain times. Maybe our pitching and D are a weakness right now? Maybe it is our hitting, but I am guessing true to Tom's comments above, the manager has it well in hand. The club is doing well overall, we are 2nd in the division, 2.5 games behind the team that we are playing next. Not a bad position. Could be better, could be worse.
It is painful to see someone miss a pitch, not swing when they should have, make some crazy play… But I am guessing it happens to everyone of the other teams out there too! We still have more than enough time to prove the team Williams put together is better than the rest, but that is what it will take… Time. All things considered the teams play for the fans. The fans are important considering that is what drives or kills a club. I would consider Williams and Ozzie both fans in some way shape or form so I am guessing they too will do whatever it takes to have us in the playoff hunt come Oct.
Living and dying by every pitch and mistake (or achievement for that matter) makes for a loooong season…
You don't have to manage the big leagues to know that what you've said is true. But those who have managed ALSO know that there IS such a thing as better and worse managing, and we criticize ourselves–not just others–when we stray from well tested principles and cost our teams games. Those principles, by the way, are best understood by those who HAVE sat on the bench–on ANY level–for at least a few years.
I've been there. Have YOU?
yes does anyone have that link to the article from sunday's suntimes??
I've been an athlete all my life, I've had a couple good coaches and plenty of bad coaches. But even with the good coaches- there were always the people who thought they could do the job better. Heck, I've even said before that I could coach the team better. But what the bottom line here is that Ozzie Guillen is in his 3rd season, and already has a World Series Championship under his belt. It took him two seasons Sox fans. Doesn't he deserve a little more respect and trust then certain people are dishing him?
As frustrating as skids can be, they are hugely important in the long run becasue they teach invaluable lessons that strengthen the team. The Chicago White Sox are a team with incredible talent and great potential. We are currently not playing at our best of abilities, but how many times do we need to bring it up that this HAPPENS?!?!
I stand behind all of our guys- and Tom, I support your posts. I just get sick of people constantly harp on anyone in sight when times get a little rough.
Hope the guys had a good day off, very anxious for the series opener tomorrow!!
For all of you who keep constantly criticizing Ozzie and the team, I would like you to remember the following: WE ARE 12 GAMES OVER 500!!! If I didn't know any better I would think we were in last place based on reading the comments on this board alone. Boy how some success has spoiled some people. True, the Sox haven't played anywhere near the caliber baseball they're capable of, but look at it this way: Without playing up to potential, we are still a mere 2.5 games behind the team with the best record in baseball. Other than the past week the Tigers have essentially played out of their minds to earn 1st place in our division. But remember this: They have not beaten us. With 16 games left against them alone, (not to mention the 90 games left against other teams), I would say we are in pretty good shape. I'm sorry to rant a little bit, but it's really frustrating reading this constant criticism. I am not pleased with the way we have been playing at all, but look at the shape we're in without having played well, and answer this: Had we not won the world series would you still be complaining about our current position? I doubt being 2.5 out and 12 over in June anyone would be. Plus, given the success last year, haven't Ozzie, Kenny, Coop, etc. earned a little slack if nothing else? Sorry for the length of the post, just want to tell everyone to keep things in perspective a little, and remember that every team goes through a stretch like this, even the team that won the world series in 2005.
A few quick comments before I head to beautiful HOT HOT Arizona tomorrow.
1) Last I checked..regardless of the recent events.. 2nd best record in baseball.
2) Ahhh kenwo…nice to see you back to your positive self. If memory serves me correctly, you were heading the jump off the bandwagon parade late last year. Welcome back =)
3) I wasn't panicing last year down the stretch, and I'm not panicing now…
In Oz, I still trust.. hasn't let me down yet ;)
Steve: Great post.
Dawn: Have a great, and safe trip! Enjoy the weather and beautiful cactus's! (Not sure how you make cactus plural..haha)!
And as to your 3 points; agree, agree, agree! :)
A lil' faith Sox fans, a lil' faith.
If you really want to complain, head to the other side of town- they're in need of a lot of complainers to handle everything they're dealing with….. ;) (Insert a TomQ joke here to cover up another lame attempt on my part…)
I like the fire in here. This team seems LOVED!!! I am not going to panic this early. I may throw items across the room when I see a bunt jump up into the air, a bad throw by our defense, or even a 6 run lead blown by the bullpen but they WILL win the division and go deep into the playoffs because they are just that good!!!! Steve is exactly right. They are playing way below their potential and still one of the best teams in the leage. I can't wait until they hit their grove. THAT will be something. Let's get the first game, then worry about the series. Dawn, stay cool in AZ.
Sean – Jacksonville
Why does it seem like 2 or 3 people show up only to gripe and moan? Every single team has good days and bad days. Hitters have slumps, as well as pitchers and fielders. Things will work out in time. We aren't even half way through yet. I agree that there can be some improvements, but all this talk about the managers mistakes is crazy. Ozzie guided the team to the World Series and he knows best. I'll bet he even knows a little more than a person who spent a few years on the bench.
Bethany, I think it's cacti, kinda like octupi for multiple octupus (but now that I type that it doesn't seem right, we'll stick with cactus's). I think Sean made a good point in terms of our standing. Eventhough we haven't played well, we're still in a great position. Imagine the possibilities when this squad hits their stride.
I'm jazzed for this series with the Tigers. We all knew looking at the schedule this month that we were going up against the upper eschalon teams in each division. I got me a good feeling with Freddy going to the mound tonight.

kolsens…are you saying that you've sat on a bench during the pressure of a MLB game?Now that I have all these press guides at hand,thanks to Scott,if you'll follow up and tell me when you had your cup of coffee in the show,I'll look it up and then admit that you know what you're talking about…
But if you are talking about being on a bench during a Pony League,Colt League,Babe Ruth League,American Legion league,any othe league of your own(pardon me,Madonna and Tom Hanks),believe and old man,sir,when I say this…a major league game is an ENTIERLY different animal from what you are referring to…
Have I sat on a bench? No,I was not blessed with the coordination and ability to hit,throw or catch a baseball properly…The best I did was back yard or prairie softball,playing with a ball that was a thing of mush to play with…or trying to do fungoes with a wiffle ball and a bat,pretending that I was at the old Comiskey Park…
No,kolsens,I never sat on a bench…But over the last 47 seasons,(geez,Bethany,am I THAT old?)I have witnessed with two functioning eyes and a process to function and try to figure out what exactly is going on,one h*** of a lot of games…I have seen the most fundamentally sound ball clubs make mistakes that kids in Little League don't make…I have seen managers from Al Lopez and Casey Stengel,"genuises"like the late Gene Mauch and Billy Martin,"living geniuses"like Whitey Herzog,Earl Weaver and Tony La Russa manage their fair share of games,using well tested principles drawn up from the grave of Doubleday(Abner,not the publishers who used to own the Mets),and you wanna know something…
Amazingly,every so often,they f**k it up…
I believe it's called being human….
I woke up this morning with a good feeling about this series with the Tiges(as Ernie Harwell called them)…I just hope I'm right…because if I'm not,kolsens,kenwo and dreifer will never let me hear the end of it…and the rest of us will be in that boat,too…
Dawn,if you have a laptop that functions on your business trip to the great Southwest,give us a shout,please? Especially if you find jklein waiting for your arrival with a cactus,a gila monster and a six pack of Miller Lite (gotta keep the sponsor happy)in tow…
Finally,don't think of today as the Omen(6-6-6),think of it as the 62nd anniversary of D-Day…which it is…And the sacrifices made by those men on thatbeach at Normandy which enable us to have the freedom and the ability to have discussions about such matters as fundamentals of baseball…
Well put TQ, I'm not going to make anymore predictions, although I was on hand for the Saturday victory against Texas. Fact is the White Sox have superior talent and when they snap out of their funk, look out! It's going to be a fun summer and the crowds have been awesome.
I have just discovered something that has made me somewhat upset,but not a bit surprised…
As you amy know,the Sox-Cleveland game is being shown on FOX this Saturday…What you don't know is how much of these United States will see this game…
How about 16 per cent of the country? THat's right,folks,
16 LOUSY PER CENT of the US will see this game if they tune in to their FOX station this Saturday…10 STATES,including Pennsylvania,Kentucky and Nebraska…And who will be doing the play-by-play/color for the game? Joe Buck and Tim McCarver,FOX's number one team? Uh-Uh…try Kenny(Son of Marv)Albert and Rick(last catch of Len Barker's perfect game,which he's been living on ever since)Manning…By the way,23% of the country will be getting the Texas/Boston game at the same time,while 30% will be getting the Oakland/Yankees game…That,of course,is where young Buck and old Mc Carver will be,sitting at East 161st Street and River Avenue,Fort Apache,the Bronx…
Seems that even though the WS won the World Series last year,unless they move east to establish themselves,FOX and ESPN will somehow look past them to feature the Yank-mes,Boston,the Mets,etc…
What needs to happen is for someone from the Midwest,with Midwest pride and sensibility,to invade FOX and ESPN to let them know that life and good baseball teams exist west of the Hudson River…..
palehoses…I did not forget you,Jeral…Iowa will be one of the states that will be blanketed—BABY blanketed,perhaps,by the coverage on Saturday…Davenport,Des Moines,Ottumwa(good,that means Radar O'Reilly can watch at the veterans home)and Sioux City…
If you live near any of those cities,or get their signal,you lucky boy,you can actually SEE the Cell on your TV…
Thank you,FOX…for nothing…..
buehrle will find his flow, how quick we become negative.
i think they should trade garland for rowand and put mccarthy in the 5th starter spot. garland is struggling and philly needs pitching. we also need a centerfielder
That really leaves our pen depleted. I like the trade, but we need help in the pen most of all.

As for the Gamma Radiation line, he only said he worked in Gamma radiation, which he most likely did. Not that he had been exposed to it.
It's been while since I read the series. What happened with the arc reactor and who's Maximus?
If UA3 end fight scene was longer with panels showing Perin taking out a few dozen vampires, and if kid Daredevil and Stick had been left out of the book, it would have been excellent. Seriously.
I don't know why so many fans hate on Ultimate Avengers 3 when at the time New Ultimates was being released which was much, MUCH worse. New Ultimates was so bad in made me consider dropping comics altogether, out of disgust for discovering such childish, shitty literature by a highly paid professional comicbook writer and by one of the two biggest comicbook publishers IN THE WORLD, and experiencing an ending that was so horribly disappointing, and so dreadfully lacklustre, even though it should have been the easiest thing in the world to make Thor's resurrection and the ensuing conflict feel epic. But instead it went limp like a floppy cock or like a balloon losing all its air. It was depressing and the confusing dialogue boxes popping up everywhere furthermore made the book a real struggle to push through. It was a real chore reading it.
Ultimate Avengers Versus New Ultimates is the only Mark Millar Ultimate book I dislike.

According to Reuters Health, a study appearing in the October 2006 issue of European Heart Journal found that people with diabetes who have suffered a heart attack or episode of severe angina benefit just as much from treatment with statins as those without diabetes.
Examples of statins include Pravachol, Lipitor, Zocor, and Crestor.

Discover more resources for these services: HDInsight
HDInsight makes Apache Hadoop available as a service in the cloud. It makes the MapReduce software framework available in a simpler, more scalable, and cost efficient Azure environment. HDInsight also provides a cost efficient approach to the managing and storing of data using Azure Blob storage.
In this tutorial, you will provision an HDInsight cluster using the Azure Management Portal, submit a Hadoop MapReduce job using PowerShell, and then import the MapReduce job output data into Excel for examination.
This tutorial covers using Hadoop 2.2 clusters on HDInsight. For the tutorial using Hadoop 1.2 clusters on HDInsight, see Get started using Azure HDInsight.
The asv:// syntax is not supported in HDInsight clusters version 3.0 and will not be supported in later versions. The wasb:// syntax should be used instead.
In conjunction with the general availability of Azure HDInsight, Microsoft has also released HDInsight Emulator for Azure, formerly known as Microsoft HDInsight Developer Preview. This product targets developer scenarios and as such only supports single-node deployments. For using HDInsight Emulator, see Get Started with the HDInsight Emulator.
Before you begin this tutorial, you must have the following:
Estimated time to complete: 30 minutes
There are several ways to submit MapReduce jobs to HDInsight. In this tutorial, you will use Azure PowerShell. To install Azure PowerShell, run the Microsoft Web Platform Installer. Click Run when prompted, click Install, and then follow the instructions. For more information, see Install and configure Azure PowerShell.
The PowerShell cmdlets require your subscription information so that it can be used to manage your services.
To connect to your subscription using Azure AD
Run the following command:
In the window, type the email address and password associated with your account. Azure authenticates and saves the credential information, and then closes the window.
The other method to connect to your subscription is using the certificate method. For instructions, see Install and configure Azure PowerShell.
The HDInsight provision process requires an Azure Storage account to be used as the default file system. The storage account must be located in the same data center as the HDInsight compute resources. Currently, you can only provision HDInsight clusters in the following data centers:
You must choose one of the five data centers for your Azure Storage account.
To create an Azure Storage account
Click NEW on the lower left corner, point to DATA SERVICES, point to STORAGE, and then click QUICK CREATE.
Enter URL, LOCATION and REPLICATION, and then click CREATE STORAGE ACCOUNT. Affinity groups are not supported. You will see the new storage account in the storage list.
Wait until the STATUS of the new storage account is changed to Online.
Click the new storage account from the list to select it.
Click MANAGE ACCESS KEYS from the bottom of the page.
Make a note of the STORAGE ACCOUNT NAME and the PRIMARY ACCESS KEY. You will need them later in the tutorial.
For the detailed instructions, see How to Create a Storage Account and Use Azure Blob Storage with HDInsight.
Provision HDInsight 3.0 clusters is currently only supported using the custom create option.
To provision an HDInsight cluster
Sign in to the Azure Management Portal.
Click HDINSIGHT on the left to list the HDInsight clusters under your account. In the following screenshot, there is no existing HDInsight cluster.
Click NEW on the lower left side, click DATA SERVICES, click HDINSIGHT, and then click CUSTOM CREATE.
From the Cluster Details tab, enter or select the following values:
Click the right arrow in the bottom right corner to configure cluster user.
From the Configure Cluster user tab, enter User Name and Password for the HDInsight cluster user account. In addition to this account, you can create a RDP user account after the cluster is provisioned, so you can remote desktop into the cluster. For instructions, see Administer HDInsight using Management portal
Click the right arrow in the bottom right corner to configure the storage account.
From the Storage Account tag, enter or select the following values:
Click the check icon in the bottom right corner to create the cluster. When the provision process completes, the status column will show Running.
Now you have an HDInsight cluster provisioned. The next step is to run a MapReduce job to count words in a text file.
Running a MapReduce job requires the following elements:
A MapReduce program. In this tutorial, you will use the WordCount sample that comes with the HDInsight cluster distribution so you don't need to write your own. It is located on /example/jars/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar. For instructions on writing your own MapReduce job, see Develop Java MapReduce programs for HDInsight.
An input file. You will use /example/data/gutenberg/davinci.txt as the input file. For information on upload files, see Upload Data to HDInsight.
An output file folder. You will use /example/data/WordCountOutput as the output file folder. The system will create the folder if it doesn't exist.
The URI scheme for accessing files in Blob storage is:
By default, the Blob container used for the default file system has the same name as the HDInsight cluster.
The URI scheme provides both unencrypted access with the wasb: prefix, and SSL encrypted access with wasbs. We recommend using wasbs wherever possible, even when accessing data that lives inside the same Azure data center.
Because HDInsight uses a Blob Storage container as the default file system, you can refer to files and directories inside the default file system using relative or absolute paths.
For example, to access the hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar, you can use one of the following options:
● wasb://<containername>@<storageaccountname>.blob.core.windows.net/example/jars/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar
● wasb:///example/jars/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar
● /example/jars/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar
The use of the wasb:// prefix in the paths of these files. This is needed to indicate Azure Blob Storage is being used for input and output files. The output directory assumes a default path relative to the wasb:///user/<username> folder.
For more information, see Use Azure Blob Storage with HDInsight.
To run the WordCount sample
Open Azure PowerShell. For instructions of opening Azure PowerShell console window, see Install and configure Azure PowerShell.
Run the following commands to set the variables.
$subscriptionName = "<SubscriptionName>"
$clusterName = "<HDInsightClusterName>"
Run the following commands to create a MapReduce job definition:
# Define the MapReduce job
$wordCountJobDefinition = New-AzureHDInsightMapReduceJobDefinition -JarFile "wasb:///example/jars/hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar" -ClassName "wordcount" -Arguments "wasb:///example/data/gutenberg/davinci.txt", "wasb:///example/data/WordCountOutput"
The hadoop-mapreduce-examples.jar file comes with the HDInsight cluster distribution. There are two arguments for the MapReduce job. The first one is the source file name, and the second is the output file path. The source file comes with the HDInsight cluster distribution, and the output file path will be created at the run-time.
Run the following command to submit the MapReduce job:
# Submit the job
Select-AzureSubscription $subscriptionName
$wordCountJob = Start-AzureHDInsightJob -Cluster $clusterName -JobDefinition $wordCountJobDefinition
In addition to the MapReduce job definition, you must also provide the HDInsight cluster name where you want to run the MapReduce job.
The Start-AzureHDInsightJob is an asynchroized call. To check the completion of the job, use the Wait-AzureHDInsightJob cmdlet.
Run the following command to check the completion of the MapReduce job:
Wait-AzureHDInsightJob -Job $wordCountJob -WaitTimeoutInSeconds 3600
Run the following command to check any errors with running the MapReduce job:
# Get the job output
Get-AzureHDInsightJobOutput -Cluster $clusterName -JobId $wordCountJob.JobId -StandardError
The following screenshot shows the output of a successful run. Otherwise, you will see some error messages.
To retrieve the results of the MapReduce job
Run the following commands to create a C:\Tutorials folder, and change directory to the folder:
mkdir \Tutorials
cd \Tutorials
The default Azure Powershell directory is C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0. By default, you don't have the write permission on this folder. You must change directory to a folder where you have write permission.
Set the three variables in the following commands, and then run them:
$subscriptionName = "<SubscriptionName>"
$storageAccountName = "<StorageAccountName>"
$containerName = "<ContainerName>"
The Azure Storage account is the one you created earlier in the tutorial. The storage account is used to host the Blob container that is used as the default HDInsight cluster file system. The Blob storage container name usually share the same name as the HDInsight cluster unless you specify a different name when you provision the cluster.
Run the following commands to create an Azure storage context object:
# Create the storage account context object
Select-AzureSubscription $subscriptionName
$storageAccountKey = Get-AzureStorageKey $storageAccountName | %{ $_.Primary }
$storageContext = New-AzureStorageContext -StorageAccountName $storageAccountName -StorageAccountKey $storageAccountKey
The Select-AzureSubscription is used to set the current subscription in case you have multiple subscriptions, and the default subscription is not the one to use.
Run the following command to download the MapReduce job output from the Blob container to the workstation:
# Download the job output to the workstation
Get-AzureStorageBlobContent -Container $ContainerName -Blob example/data/WordCountOutput/part-r-00000 -Context $storageContext -Force
The example/data/WordCountOutput folder is the output folder specified when you run the MapReduce job. part-r-00000 is the default file name for MapReduce job output. The file will be download to the same folder structure on the local folder. For example, in the following screenshot, the current folder is the C root folder. The file will be downloaded to the C:\example\data\WordCountOutput\ folder.
Run the following command to print the MapReduce job output file:
cat ./example/data/WordCountOutput/part-r-00000 | findstr "there"
The MapReduce job produces a file named part-r-00000 with the words and the counts. The script uses the findstr command to list all of the words that contains "there".
If you open ./example/data/WordCountOutput/part-r-00000, a multi-line output from a MapReduce job, in Notepad, you will notice the line breaks are not renter correctly. This is expected.
The Power Query add-in for Excel can be used to export output from HDInsight into Excel where Microsoft Business Intelligence (BI) tools can be used to further process or display the results.
You must have Excel 2010 or 2013 installed to complete this part of the tutorial. Here we will import the default Hive table that ships in HDInsight.
To download Microsoft PowerQuery for Excel
To import HDInsight data
Click the Power Query menu, click From Other Sources, and then click From Azure HDInsight.
Enter the Account Name of the Azure Blob Storage Account associated with your cluster, and then click OK. This is the storage account you created earlier in the tutorial.
Enter the Account Key for the Azure Blob Storage Account, and then click Save.
In the Navigator pane on the right, double-click the Blob storage container name. By default the container name is the same name as the cluster name.
Locate part-r-00000 in the Name column (the path is .../example/data/WordCountOutput), and then click Binary on the left of part-r-00000.
Right-click Column1.1, and then select Rename.
Change the name to Word.
Repeat the process to rename Column1.2 to Count.
Click Apply & Close in the upper left corner. The query then imports the word counting MapReduce job output into Excel.
In this tutorial, you have learned how to provision a cluster with HDInsight, run a MapReduce job on it, and import the results into Excel where they can be further processed and graphically displayed using BI tools. To learn more, see the following articles:

Great product that makes life easy.
Bought at a great price, and a great product overall.
Ordered this product in store as it wasn't in stock, very impressed with the ease of ordering and how quickly and efficiently it was delivered! Ordered at 17.30 and delivered by 12 midday the following day, excellent service! The isofix base itself was a bargain, so much so that my mum ordered one the following day, little one isn't due until July so hasn't yet been used yet but looks very easy to use, heavy but this is reassuring!
Good value for money for my sons isofix safety child seat securing device
Fantastic that it can be used until toddler age with the correct car seat. Easy to fit into car.

Savannah >Lodging > Comfort Inn & Suites Midtown
211 Stephenson Ave., Savannah, GA | Directions 3140532.012851 -81.110086

Neighborhoods: Oakdale
We were charged for a king bed room with a jacuzzi, and I tried hard not to be but ended up disappointed. The bed was very comfortable, and I enjoyed the small room, and empty parking lot, however, sometimes an empty parking lot is proof of this place needing improvement. The breakfast was great! It was my first time using a waffle iron, and I really like it! the trash was gross and overflowing, someone REALLY needed to change it. However, the main reason I rented this room was for the tub, and it was dirty and had different hairs in it! therefore, I informed the staff, and asked for it to be cleaned so I could use it. Unfortunately, they never came through with their reassurance of cleaning the bathroom and the hair. I really needed a microwave, and there was supposed to be one according to the amenities list. However, there was not one. Also, we had a very old giant box television, we had to bring our own ps3 from home since there was no dvd player, and the sound on the tv was crackling and would not work. Unfortunately we called twice, and they said they would swap a tv, and it is now 1108 at night, and STILL no one! We even had to buy a cord to connect everything! We were also supposed to get a non-smoking room, and the room smells like smoke, and we had to spray it, and there was even an ash tray in the room? The tub was not in the same room as the bed, it was in the bathroom next to the shower. The tub looked like it was still in the process of being put in with all of the wood structure showing, and the laminate tile on it was hanging off. The shower didn't have a liner long enough to cover the whole opening of the shower, so water was EVERYWHERE. There was also no light in the shower, unfortunately. I liked it overall, but my standards are not very high since I am cheap. Cheap like the hand made wannabe fountain in the lobby, it actually made me laugh out loud. No bugs yet though, and the bed was clean and comfy, and one staff member seemed friendly and personable.

LifeMasters Supported SelfCare, Inc., a provider of interactive health management services, has received Continuing Education Provider status from the California Board of Registered Nursing (BRN). The designation enables LifeMasters' nurses, who provide personalized health monitoring and education to patients with chronic disease via the Web and telephone, to receive continuing education hours (CE's) towards nursing license renewal, through the company.
``LifeMasters is happy to be able to provide this great benefit to our nursing staff. One of our values as a company is continuous learning for our patients and staff alike,'' said Christobel E. Selecky, CEO of LifeMasters. ``Our quality education components are a key part of our approach to interactive disease management. By helping LifeMasters' patients understand their diseases and providing the most up-to-date disease information, our nurses inspire their patients to be more active in their own care."
Mona Mathewson, clinical education coordinator for LifeMasters, said, ``California nurses are required to achieve 30 continuing education hours every two years for nursing license renewal. Many companies don't even provide reimbursement or paid time off for their nurses to pursue these credits. At LifeMasters, we have created an extensive learning program to support their career development. Offering education credits for on-going training and monthly education courses shows the company's appreciation for its nurses and the jobs they do, as well as the company's commitment to education.
LifeMasters brings this training in-house by devoting one staff meeting each month to an education topic. Nurses earn one CE hour for each of these courses, enabling them to accrue a minimum of 12 CE hours each year for learning done during the workday alone. In addition, LifeMasters offers CE hours for its new Clinical Nurse Consultant (CNC) training and on-going clinical education.
About LifeMasters
Founded in 1994, LifeMasters Supported SelfCare, Inc. offers interactive health management services designed to improve clinical outcomes for patients, provide decision support for physicians, and reduce costs for payors, providers and employers. Population-based disease management components include customized patient education, online health content and interactive health management tools, lifestyle modification, vital sign monitoring, and ongoing nurse-mediated patient support. At enrollment, a patient's personal physician sets monitoring parameters based on LifeMasters' nationally accepted standards of care. Patients enter longitudinal vital sign and symptom data into LifeMasters' Web-enabled database using the Internet or a touch-tone telephone. The company's proactive intervention model empowers individuals to take an active role in their own well being, and encourages program compliance. LifeMasters notifies the patient's physician when treatment is required to prevent a medical episode or hospitalization.
In 1998, LifeMasters pioneered the first Web-enabled disease management program with the introduction of its password protected Web site for enrolled patients.
In 1999, LifeMasters introduced its programs ``direct-to-consumer'' at http://www.LifeMastersOnline.com. This consumer Web site provides disease-specific education, wellness components and interactive health management tools, and is available free to the general public, or as a private labeled link to LifeMasters' Web partners.
More information can be obtained by calling 1-800-760-9261, or at http://www.LifeMasters.com.
